It’s things like this that made me get rid of cable television. It’s another advertisement for the 1/2 Hour News Hour on Fox News. The show is supposed to be a satire… I guess. Sean Hannity’s reaction, or lack thereof, is pretty telling.
One question rattling through my brain is, did they even test it on a real audience? The only good joke in this clip was that Rush Limbaugh was President, and amazingly they even included a laugh track on that one.
Fox and others seem to be playing up the fact that the show is being made by Joel Surnow, who also makes their hit show “24.” I guess this fact alone will get a few people to watch, but probably not past the first episode.
On a side note, I just watched my first episode of “24″ the other day. I was completely unimpressed, but I did like the sound the clock makes when it’s ticking before a commercial break. The show was full of bad acting and the plot seems to be typical of most of the night time soap operas that seem to be so popular these days.
